To the Editor:

On behalf of the Russ LaRose family, we would like to say thank you for a very successful jamboree.

Thank you to Elaine and the people at Norwood Legion for all their help and kindness, thank you to all the people and business' who donated for our raffles, thank you to everyone who donated food and to Gideon's Gallery for their generosity, thank you to everyone who donated money and especially a big thank you to everyone who showed up to show your love and support to Russ.

Although Russ is only here in our hearts now, we were so blessed that he could be at the jamboree to see how much he truly meant to people. We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts.
